Caleb Plant coach Stephen Edwards says he doesn’t think a fight between him and Edgar Berlanga will happen. He listened to Berlanga (23-01, 18 food) and said, ‘F *** Caleb plant’, after his first round victory over Jonathan Gonzalez Organ on March 15, and he accepted it that he was not interested.
Money-first mentality
Berlanga actually said in an interview that the plant is not the way it wants. He wants Jaime Munguia or Jermall Charlo. He feels that one of the guys will be the golden ticket to get a rematch with Canelo Alvarez. This is the struggle that Berlanga has talked about endlessly. He got it ”Big bag ” Fight Canelo in September last year and wants to help a second.
Edgar knows that murderers such as Plant, Osleys Iglesias, David Banavidez, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli would be too risky to achieve his goal. So it is the elderly, inactive, unmotivated 35-year-old Jermall Charlo and the recent Munguia recent.
“I didn’t hear him calling Caleb. I heard him say, ‘F *** Caleb plant,’ ‘said coach Stephen Edwards Millcity Boxing About Edgar Berlanga did not call Caleb plant after his victory over Jonathan Gonzalez Orthiz last week. “I didn’t hear him say,” I want to fight Caleb plant. “He said ‘f *** Caleb plant’, and he kept saying it. This is not an exclamation. “
Berlanga certainly did not reveal after his battle against Gonzalez Organ. When he was questioned, he repeatedly said, “F *** Caleb plant.” When asked against whom he wants to fight, Berlanga said, “Jaime Munguia and Jermall Charlo.” Fans did not listen to him and mistakenly thought he was coming up. The same manufactured resume Like him.
Munguia is linked to Scrubs his entire career until he received the payday fight against Canelo Alvarez last May, which he lost with a one -sided 12 round decision. In his last fight, Munguia fought against an unknown man, Bruno Surace, who had an unbeaten record, full of no names. Surprisingly, Mungua was knocked out. This is not because surace is good. He lost because he was just a hype work from the first day.
Claims to A-side
“I saw how Berlanga wasn’t with Eddie Hearn because he didn’t make the William Scull fight. I understand why he was upset. I think he and Caleb are going to have trouble getting their fight. Edgar believes that he is a bigger star and that he wants the money. Caleb believes he is better than Edgar, and he is a bigger star and wants the most money.
‘Caleb plant has been a world champion before and had title defense. If you sit down and negotiate negotiations, all the things come to whom the A-side will be and who will be the B-side. I can see why Edgar was angry and Eddie Hearn, because he wants to become a world champion, because if he gets a world title, Caleb can’t throw up in his face).
Stephen did it wrong. Berlanga said the reason he wanted to fight the IBF Super Middleweight Champion, William Scull, is because he believed it was a definite victory, and that he could use the title as a lure to get a rematch with the United Three Belt Champion Canelo Alvarez. Berlanga made $ 10 million in his fight against Canelo last September, and he wants a quick re -broadcast to get a similar payday.
The money he earns against other fighters is much less. So, if Berlanga Scull beat, Canelo would fight him again to catch the fourth belt to have the undisputed Super Middleweight Championships about his fight against Terence Crawford in September. As much as the box public would hate to see a re -broadcast between Canelo and Berlanga, it would still happen. However, it will not now, because Berlanga did not fight Scull.
Benavidez fear
“Edgar never fought against Benavidez, and I don’t think the fight would ever happen. I don’t think that would happen now, because benavidez is a little too much for Berlanga. They could have fought, but he (Berlanga) chased Canelo because he is a super big star (which allows Edgsr to get a big payday).
‘Edgar has one of the best drivers in box in Keith Connolly. The man knows what he’s doing, and he’s not going to let Edgar fight against Benavidez. Edgar is a good fighter but do you see the battles that Benavidez takes? These are difficult fights. They (Berlanga) would not fight because they would lose, and it would ruin his brand a bit.
“You could say he wasn’t enough experienced. Losing against Benavidez by beating or through a knockout, it just wouldn’t be good for his brand, especially in a fight he doesn’t have to take. I don’t see him fighting against him, ‘says Stephen.
Berlanga is likely to fight against Benavidez at some point, but only for the money, not because he thinks he can win or deserve a fight. If Berlanga moves to 175, he will face the soft opposition that he would build his 23-1 record at 168 and look for the big payday.
The man is so predictable with the way his management matches him. He never fought with a top level against anyone until he got a fight against Canelo in September last year, and now that he was lost, he returned to fight the tomato box on which he built his manufactured record.
